    Is it really that much work to get an AirPrinter working on Linux? <https://johnbokma.com/blog/2026/09/07/setting-up-a-brother-airprinter-on-ubuntu.html>

    Hoops, Lawrence, hoops. Or maybe I did it the hard way?

    It just took me just a minuterCOs searching to find this <https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/yypxs/is_there_a_hack_for_airprint_via_ubuntu/>:

    EDIT: OK. I finally got home and was able to experiment a bit with
    AirPrint. I was blown away by how idiot proof it was to get
    working.

    You know what they say: make something idiot-proof, and the Universe
    will invent a better idiot ...
